Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn addressed the media on Monday following the team’s 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens to deliver some injury news and final thoughts before turning the page to the Carolina Panthers. Here are some of highlights from the press conference.
Jonathan Allen done for the year
Jonathan Allen left the Ravens game with a pectoral injury, and it was quickly determined that he would not be returning to action for the afternoon. Quinn said after the game that he would provide new information on the Pro Bowler, and the update was not positive. Allen will undergo surgery for a torn pectoral and be done for the remainder of the 2024 season.
“It’s a big blow for us,” Quinn said. “Jon Allen has obviously been a big staple player here with the play style and the attitude. We’re really bummed for him as the man and the ball player.”
Allen had a slow start to the season but had shown signs of his previous self in the previous two games. After being held without a sack and just four tackles in Week 1-3, Allen had a sack against the Arizona Cardinals and Cleveland Browns to go with nine tackles and three quarterback hits.
The Commanders don’t have a complete replacement for Allen, but Quinn said that a “multitude of players” will be utilized to fill that role.
“Jon’s rare, and he has unique skills and talents,” Quinn added. “It’s not just plug-and-play. The good news is that we’ve got a big, deep crew.”
